Reactions to EMI/DRM Announcement

Yesterday’s big news for several of the bloggers I subscribe to was the announcement by EMI that it will offer DRM-free music. I won’t get all Sir Link-a-Lot about this, but I will provide one link: to Ryan Block at Engadget.

I tried to get a discussion of the announcement going in my class this morning. The typical student in this class is an early-20-something iPod owner. There wasn’t much awareness of, or interest in, the announcement.
